SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of the airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

modify Class E airspace to support IFR 

operations at Klawock Airport, 

Klawock, AK. 

Comments Invited 

The FAA invites interested persons to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting written comments, data, or 

views. Comments are specifically 

invited on the overall regulatory, 

aeronautical, economic, environmental, 

and energy-related aspects of the 

proposal. The most helpful comments 

reference a specific portion of the 

proposal, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. To ensure the docket 

does not contain duplicate comments, 

commenters should submit only one 

time if comments are filed 

electronically, or commenters should 

send only one copy of written 

comments if comments are filed in 

writing. 

The FAA will file in the docket all 

comments it receives, as well as a report 

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerning 

this proposed rulemaking. Before acting 

on this proposal, the FAA will consider 

all comments it receives on or before the 

closing date for comments. The FAA 

will consider comments filed after the 

comment period has closed if it is 

possible to do so without incurring 

expense or delay. The FAA may change 

this proposal in light of the comments 

it receives. 

Privacy: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

553(c), DOT solicits comments from the 

public to better inform its rulemaking 

process. DOT posts these comments, 

without edit, including any personal 

information the commenter provides, to 

www.regulations.gov, as described in 

the system of records notice (DOT/ALL– 

14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at 

www.dot.gov/privacy.

An electronic copy of this document 

may be downloaded through the 

internet at www.regulations.gov. 

Recently published rulemaking 

documents can also be accessed through

(see ADDRESSES section for address, 

phone number, and hours of 

operations). An informal docket may 

also be examined during normal 

business hours at the office at the 

Northwest Mountain Regional Office of 

the Federal Aviation Administration,

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E5 airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This 

document proposes to amend the 

current version of that order, FAA Order 

JO 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, 

and effective September 15, 2023. These 

updates would be published in the next 

update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. That 

order is publicly available as listed in 

the ADDRESSES section of this document. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

Background 

The FAA published an NPRM in the 

Federal Register for FAA 2023–1801 (88 

FR 67124; September 29, 2023) to 

modify Class E airspace at the Klawock 

Airport. An extension was proposed to 

the northeast to be within 3 miles 

northwest and 3.3 miles southwest of 

the airport’s 043° bearing, extending to 

9 miles northeast of the airport to more 

appropriately contain departing IFR 

operations until reaching 1,200 feet 

above the surface and arriving IFR 

operations below 1,500 feet above the 

surface, when executing the CAALM 2 

Area Navigation (RNAV) Departure 

Procedure or the RNAV Global 

Positioning System (GPS) RWY 20 and 

RNAV (GPS) M RWY 20 approaches. 

Subsequent to the publication of the 

NPRM, the FAA discovered that the 

extension should be within 3 miles 

northwest and 3.3 miles southeast of the 

043° bearing, extending to 9 miles 

northeast of the airport. This SNPRM 

updates the FAA’s proposal to correct 

that error. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 to modify the Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface and remove the 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

1,200 feet above the surface at Klawock 

Airport, Klawock, AK. 

The Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.7-mile radius should be 

reduced to a semicircle within the 

airport’s 249° bearing clockwise to the 

025° bearing, as operations are not 

authorized to the southeast of the 

airport and containment is not needed 

in that area. 

In addition, an extension to the Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface should be added 

to the northeast to be within 3 miles 

northwest and 3.3 miles southeast of the 

airport’s 043° bearing extending to 9 

miles northeast of the airport to more 

appropriately contain departing IFR 

operations until reaching 1,200 feet 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 241 / Monday, December 18, 2023 / Proposed Rules 87377 

above the surface and arriving IFR 

operations below 1,500 feet above the 

surface, when executing the CAALM 2 

RNAV Departure Procedure or the 

RNAV (GPS) RWY 20 and RNAV (GPS) 

M RWY 20 approaches. 

Moreover, the southwest procedure 

turn area should be removed, as it is no 

longer needed. In its place, a southwest 

extension to the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface should be added to be 

within 3.3 miles southeast and 3 miles 

northwest of the airport’s 223° bearing, 

extending to 14.6 miles southwest of the 

airport. This extension would better 

contain departing IFR operations 

between the surface and 1,200 feet 

while executing the TURTY RNAV 

departure and arriving IFR operations 

below 1,500 feet above the surface while 

executing the RNAV (GPS) A, RNAV 

(GPS) M RWY 2, RNAV (GPS) Y RWY 

2, or RNAV (GPS) Z RWY 2 approaches. 

Furthermore, the Klawock Class E 

airspace beginning at 1,200 feet above 

the surface should be removed as it is 

redundant. 

Finally, the FAA proposes 

administrative modifications to the 

airport’s associated legal description. 

The Klawock Nondirectional Beacon/ 

Distance Measuring Equipment 

navigational aid was decommissioned 

in 2017, and reference to it should be 

removed. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore: (1) is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a regulatory evaluation as 

the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed rule, when promulgated, will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures, prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
